Coaches Seek
Place for Basket ‘Runt’
Consider Raising Hoo From 10 to 12 Feet
By CARL LUNDQUIST United Press Staff Correspondent S
KANSAS CITY. Mo, March 27.— {The nation’s basketball coaches gathered today to find a place for the “little man who isn’t there”— the runt who must sit on the sidelines and watch the tall ‘boys take the glory. There isn’t much of ¢ a chance under present rules, they say, for a {short fellow to play on his college basketball team.” The game places too -much emphasis on height. The most widely discussed rules change. advocated by many coaches, is the raising of basket levels from 10 to 12 feet and increasing the diameter of hoops from 18 to 20
inches. Officials Meet, Too
The coaches will attend a threeday meeting of their national association, which precedes the ‘annual meeting of the National Collegiate Athletic Association rules committee. The rules committee will meet from Friday through Sunday to make all changes in collegiate regulations of the game for the coming year. Also meeting in conjunction with the coaches is the national collegiate officials group which will held a two-day session on Friday and Saturday. Dr. Forrest C. Allen, a member of the rules” committee and coach at the University of Kansas, is one of the staunchest advocates of. 12foot baskets. Dr. Allen, dean of the nation’s coaches, is sending a team of comparatively short players into the national finals of the N. C. A. A. meet against Ihdiana here Saturday "night, but the success of his team this year, hasn't lessened his opposition to the 10-foot baskets. which he says give all the advantage to the tall boys. Carl Hoy, University of South Dakota. coach from Vermillion, and A. E. Haylett of Doane College, Crete, Neb., are seeking to eliminate the rule which sends a player out of the game after his fourth personal foul. Both Haylett and Hoy think the pendlty of giving the other side one or two" free throws is enough. Wants Return of Jump |
W. J. Tautwein of Ohio University at Athens wants to abolish a rule which was adopted two years ago to help the shorter Pplayers— elimination of the center jump. The dribble, one of the most traditional phases of basketball, is on ‘the fire as far as Marshall Diebold, coach at Carelton College, Northfield, Minn., is. concerned. .4I think we should limit the dribble to two bounces by any player,” he said. “This will improve the basketball technique and necessitate a pleasant passing attack which will restore the skill to basketball.” Many coaches are convinced the game needs no changes and will argue for leaving it the way it is.
